So anyone coming to this eh eh???

The man Mr D James is playing I know tickets are sold out but some must have done as I did and got them 6 months early

You will fucking love it !!!

Virtually everybody in fancy dress makes for a really great party vibe. They put loads of effort in to the site decoration , probably more than any other festival . You get the big crowd atmosphere without it being over crowded ( except for beasty boys last year which was bloody stupidly packed out ! )

All in all an awesome festival .

[pd2h]

OK so I know it's a little early but does a meetup at Bestival sound like a good idea and come on there must be more of us who are attending??

[Five Alive]

Nah ... don't want to meet up with you ..

[pd2h]

Come on come over here ....... now "fuck off"

[Five Alive]

Eh ???? Yeah i'll be there dude , you need somewhere to stay ?

[Beatmonkey]

Eh ???? Yeah i'll be there dude , you need somewhere to stay ?

Possibly, possibly not, I know a fair few people with houses/flats in bristol so I shouldn't have a problem finding somewhere closer to the time when I can be botherd sorting it all out.
You doin cheepo tickets for gladtalk mod's ben??

[pesh]

me! Just been booked to do cameras on the main stage, not been before and really looking forward to it

[leah]

hurray! let's hope it doesn't piss down- i don't want to be taking the underwater theme too seriously!

[Sperge]

hurray! let's hope it doesn't piss down- i don't want to be taking the underwater theme too seriously!

And I hope it's nice and loud too.

[Five Alive]

Well it almost certainly looks like it will piss it down. But aphex twin and 808 state are both playing in the huge 6000 capacity big top so i will be safely installed in there on sat night

As for the sound levels ..... well we will have to see, but there haven't been any problems for the last four years so fingers crossed

haven't posted on here in a while but thought i'd share my thoughts on bestival wiv you lot-quite suprised it has had so little mention on here????

Ok naysayers, it's corporate; radio1 stage, rizla tent, xbox thing etc etc. Was it rammed down peoples faces? no. Did i really care that much? no.I think they got the balance right
People got searched if caught doing nos, rumours of ejection of repeat offenders/sellers were probably true and the security were definitely a presence at times.
No tracks for the punters to walk on through the mud-at the camping bit anyway-made it a bit of a nightmare and surely a few glasto-esque metal thingies would have made life easier for everyone

It really did have an amazing atmosphere- i think it topped glade and glasto an numerous other festies ive been to in the last 11 yrs. I found the crowd such a laugh and spoke to more randoms than any other festie ive been to.
Plus everyone dressed up. Nowt quite like dancing in the mud with three 'old greg's
The line up; MBV, Underworld, Roni & Reprazent, Scotch Egg, Aphex Twin, Ulrich Snauss, a hidden disco that jus played hardcore all friday when everyone else was queing up for wellies.
No dreary indie bands all the fookin time like emily eavis' vision of glasto
IT WAS LOUD!
Brilliant

[pesh]

not loud enough for aphex twin who walked off stage half way thru his set, or at least sat down and refused to play any more tunes...
That said, My Bloody Valentine were the loudest thing I've ever heard, they paid the £20k noise fine up front and just went for it
But yeah good festival, like a corporate SGP
